Hey Phil! Your picture is not in the Meet the Moderators section!
We need to associate the moderator typing with the face...

Jim

[cphilip]

Well sure! I will be glad to supply a picture. I hadn't even noticed I wasn't in there yet Jim. Thanks for asking.

Here Ya go...Now remember...I look better in person. I do not photograph very well. But then again I am the "Cutest Moderator" remember?

Here I am taking it easy...

[Ni cD]

Ah! Phil! No!

*gasp* What ever happened to the pic of you holding the baby? Thats an awesome pic.

[cphilip]

You mean this one?



See the difference a good photographer can make? See what alcohol will do to you on a hot day? Don't drink and hold babies please! I beg of you!!!

[MikeCouves]

Well, if you're curious... this is what a mod does:

1. Reviews the content of posts.
2. Edits/Deletes rule breaking posts.
3. Monitors #automags chat room.
4. Responds to nasty emails.

Not very glamorous.

How we got picked: Somebody out of the blue asked us... caught by surprise, none of us saw it coming.

Perks:
It's kinda cool that you can give people the right information and they are less likely to question it. Saves time, they get a somewhat more assuring answer, which is what they are looking for. (Sure fooled them! They think 'mod' means I know something. ) On the other hand, you also become a target for some, I noticed a large amount of criticism the instant I became a mod... and even when I was a temp mod at one point... about a month beforehand. All taken with a grain of salt of course...

Once in a while we might find out about something an entire DAY before you guys do... We get to put our ugly mugs in the 'Meet the Mods' section... Chicks dig us now... (just kidding)

That's about it... Oh, and I'm pretty sure we're automatically disqualified from the contests... haha.

We all love AO, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that it's a cool privilege to be able to help out and keep AO a nice place to hang out.

Really, I don't preoccupy myself with the mod thing, and it hasn't changed how I use AO. I hang out in the chat room just like I did. I post just like I did, except I have to be less opinionated on some things... (although I post less often now that I'm so busy with school)

We were AO trolls before and after we were mods... really made no difference to whether or not we lived here. You can be an AO troll too... there's nothing preventing you from the 'Troll' status which is almost the same thing. For example... Army was a legend here well before he was a mod. Many others...

Ok...now i just read that ENTIRE thing!I think that deserves some credit!But seriously even though i only have 80-something posts right now i still have read almost every post in every thread and i do all of the 5 things that miscue mentioned:
1. Reviews the content of posts.
2. Edits/Deletes rule breaking posts.
3. Monitors #automags chat room.
4. Responds to nasty emails.
oops guess i should have read those before i copyed and pasted...
Anyway...as if this and the little status thingy by my name isnt enough to become a moderator ill try to post a little more(BUT IT TAKES SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!)(2-5 min.)

[Miscue]

Read the third post... Shartley's post.

[MJS1214]

Ok then what if i wanted to write an E-mail to help persuade you to "ask" me to be a moderator?Then how would i "do" that?
